At St Peter's, we are committed to promoting equality throughout school and the wider community and believe that it should permeate in all aspects of school life. Everyone should be treated fairly irrespective of their age, gender, religion or belief, ethnicity, disability or sexual orientation.  We have joined Lancashire's Equality and Inclusion Mark Programme to embed Equality throughout our practice. 

The Lancashire Equality and Inclusion Mark is awarded to schools who have taken measures to embed Equality throughout their practice with the goal of enabling all pupils to thrive in a supportive learning community. It has been developed by a working group in Lancashire and provides a clear framework to guide schools through the process of auditing, developing and consolidating good practice in different areas of Equality.

The Equality Mark is comprised of six individual Equality Badges: 

• Race Equality Badge
• Gender and Gender Variance Equality Badge
• Disability Equality Badge
• Holistic Diversity Equality Badge
• Sexual Orientation Equality Badge
• Religion and Belief Equality Badge 

We are extremely proud that we achieved the Race Equality and Religion and Belief Equality Badges and are now working on Holistic Diversity and Disabilty Equality Badges. Please take a look at our certificate and letter from the Equality team.
